The law does not support petitioner’s argument at all. These types of AI-hallucinated arguments are just as egregious as a citation to non-existent law. See Clerk of Court & Comptroller for 13th Judicial Circuit, Hillsborough Cnty. v.

2d DCA 2025) (sanctioning counsel for filing a brief that, among other things, “misstated court holdings”). Pro se litigants and attorneys are responsible for their AI-generated filings and may be subject to sanctions for filings that contain fictitious authority or “cite actual cases for inaccurate legal propositions.” Hessert v. Hessert , 51 1 This Court has seen this AI-hallucinated argument often.

We denied petitioner’s frivolous certiorari petition and request for emergency treatment in case number 4D2026-0921, explaining that no basis for extraordinary writ relief was shown, and that the AI-generated petition attempted to raise 19 grounds for relief which were not properly before us. 5 We noted that petitioner has previously filed frivolous documents and was cautioned against frivolous filing in 4D2026-0544 for filing a request for emergency treatment that cited a non-existent rule of procedure. He filed the frivolous petitions and emergency request in these cases after the warning.

Pattern matches on the documents' text. Each line is a fact that the text contains the words, not a finding about the case.

Where this fits

This page is a record, not legal advice. It quotes the documents on file and lists what their text mentions. Read the decision at the source before relying on it, and check whether a later order changed it.

More from District Court of Appeal of Florida, from Florida, or from 2026. The whole record is at court decisions on AI-hallucinated citations.

Every case in this record shares one cause: a citation reached a court without anyone opening it. What a citation gate is explains the mechanism that makes that impossible by construction; how to check an AI citation in five minutes is the manual version; the sanctions record is the essay this table grew out of.
